Re: Putin warns Israel against selling arms to Ukraine

When will the U.S. admit that the U.S. was not only “involved”, but – as documented by the New York Times – Iranians working for the C.I.A. in the 1950’s posed as Communists and staged bombings in Iran in order to turn the country against its democratically-elected president (see also this essay)?

Your nothing more than an apologist for Western atrocities.

Exclusive: CIA Files Prove America Helped Saddam as He Gassed Iran
The U.S. knew Hussein was launching some of the worst chemical attacks in history -- and still gave him a hand.

Never have I denied that the CIA was involved with the ouster of Mossadeq I have only posted incontrovertible historical facts that Mossadeq was not some beacon of liberal democracy and to the contrary he was authoritarian.

Oh and btw Post those CIA Files your source is claiming exist.

It's not the business of the US to be conducting regime change no matter what you think of a government. Btw, I did, read the link you quoted.

The United States has been involved in and assisted in the overthrow of foreign governments (more recently termed "regime change") without the overt use of U.S. military force. Often, such operations are tasked to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

Regime change has been attempted through direct involvement of U.S. operatives, the funding and training of insurgency groups within these countries, anti-regime propaganda campaigns, coups d'état, and other activities usually conducted as operations by the CIA. These actions were sometimes accompanied by direct military action, such as following the U.S. invasion of Panama in 1989 and the U.S.-led military invasion of Iraq in 2003.

Some argue that non-transparent United States government agencies working in secret sometimes mislead or do not fully implement the decisions of elected civilian leaders and that this has been an important component of many such operations,[1] Some contend that the U.S. has supported more coups against democracies that it perceived as communist, becoming communist, or pro-communist.

It's the third time that I'm pointing out that what you're talking about is not terrorism, you don't seem to be familiar with the English word 'terror'.

As to "my opinion", it isn't my opinion that Iran is the number one sponsor of terrorism in the world - it's a based fact. Read the Wiki article I've linked to that documents the countless acts of terror Iran is responsible for. If you wished to prove Iran wasn't the number one sponsor of terrorism you'd refer to an entity that is supporting and directing more terrorism than Iran has. There is no such entity however and your denial is pathetic, akin to a person who insists that the world is flat and that it isn't merely "his opinion".

• Mossadegh, suspecting that British and American governments were plotting against him, holds a referendum calling for the Iranian parliament to be dissolved......

Timeline of Iranian Coup
And from the NYT's article contained in that link:
August 21, 1953
Mossadegh Quits Teheran Hideout; Is Held for Trial
Dr. Mossadegh, who had eliminated all means of an orderly change in government and achieved dictatorial powers before his overthrow......

Mossadegh Quits Teheran Hideout; Is Held for Trial
The only one posting revisionist history is YOU, I am posting incontrovertible historical fact, Mossadeq held a national referendum to dissolve parliament in which he garnered a laughable 99.9% yay vote after which he granted himself the power to make law by extending his emergency powers indefinitely, some beacon of democracy you have there.

After his surrender was that published; again it never happened in Iran.

Its revisionist propaganda and nothing more.

No, you gave me a date that this referendum happened and there isn't a single article anywhere that talks about it on that date. If this referendum did happened it'd have been all over the news at the time. As the UK was in heated debates with Iran at the time over the oil issues.

Instead what you have is revisionist propaganda trying to paint someone as a bad guy because they wished to deal with the USSR instead of the USA. We did this to a lot of other nations around the same time frame, Cuba being another prime example.

In addition, I also have eye witness accounts of what happened in Iran during the 50's.
